Britt Baker announced she would return from her injuries at the 9/5 All Out PPV.
The injury to Marq Quen on Dynamite during the opening six man tag was a worked injury to set up Matt Hardy's exit (helping him to the back) to explain why he left as the Butcher and The Blade attacked the Bucks, leading into FTR hitting the ring.
Former Impact star Rebel was the woman assisting Britt Baker on stage on Dynamite tonight.
Tonight's Battle Royal was the official in-ring Dynamite debut of Sonny Kiss. It was also Luther's in-ring Dynamite debut.
In the ring with Tyson tonight were MMA stars Vitor Belfort, Henry Cejudo, 2019 UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans and actor Mickey Gooch, a good friend of Tyson. Cejudo tweeted:
The return of uncle Mike. #staytune https://t.co/XN4AT2gZOE
